A Met-Camm image (negative DZ201ish) showing two two-car sets destined for the Scottish Region in Sutton Park station. Although the vehicle number cannot be read the closest vehicle is probably Sc51237, delivered to Dundee in late May 1958. Metropolitan Cammell.
October 1963
Vehicle: 56177
A BRC&W driver trailer set departs from Sutton Park in October 1963. M56177 leads, presumably with long-term (and original) partner M50534. "2G" is painted on the bufferbeam the code for Ryecroft depot, a new code issued the previous month replacing 21F. Another recent change was the moving of the electrification warning flash from the lower cab to the window (instruction issued in September 1962). Note the roof colour, a much lighter colour than the cab dome. This image appeared in the 1970 DMU ABC. Michael Mensing.

22nd March 1969
Vehicle: 51579 Set: 503
Two two-car Class 120s in Sutton Park station.

Closest is set 503, presumably 51579 + 51588, and the other set will be the other Reading Class 120 twin, set 502 (51574 + 51583). Stuart Mackay Collection.
